We met with the owners, Stephen Dare and John Allen Harrett, on Saturday. We will be seated in the nightclub dining room for our meeting. Other lunch patrons will be in another area of the restaurant. I need to get a count for lunch at walk registration so I can phone John and he can set up the room. He will assign a server to our group. The menu is fusion cuisine and Steve is the chef. For additional info view their website at www.boomtowntheatre.com.
